Dispensing with the Shirt Bosom.

l was standing at haberdasher's window
lately, Looking at an immense display Of fine
shirts, when l was Joined by friend who is
almost professional fop, but who neverthe-
less delivered himself as follows: "All my
life, until year or two ago, was slave to
the shirt bosom. In old times, when the
fashion was to display good deal Of it, I
used to sit up nights studying the best ar
rangement Of the plaits and the best method
of making the confounded thing lie smooth.
1 shall never forget the feeling Of triumph
experienced when I first learned that by
making two or three sharp creases across the
lower end of it, the upper end would not
fare out like scroll of sheet music.
."Then they began to cut the vests high;
and from sheer force Of habit, kept up all
this nonsense for about ten years longer.
"Finally, seeing that my necktie always
concealed my shirt bosom, conceived the
sublime idea Of dispensing with shirt bosoms
altogether. I ordered lot Of short tailed
night shirts. and have never worn anything
else since. You can't imagine what COM
fort they are! They cost only S1.25 apiece,
to begin with, the laundries charge only about
half price for washing them, they never wear
out, and they are the only really comfortable
shirts ever worn. I have preserved one or
two shirts with bosolns to be used on state oc-
casions, but have never had the courage to
put one of them on since made my new de

Lessona in American housekeeping,

The eldest Miss West presides charmingly
over the home of the English legation, and Is
an accomplished housekeeper as well as
hostess During her first years in Washing
ton, while new to her responsibilities and
new to the country, she was victimized in the
most thorough manner by servants and
trades people. The other diplomats, who ali
know that Washington is one Of the most ex-
pensive capitals to maintain legation estab
ishnent in handsome style, could even then
hardly understand why Mr. West and his
daughter were complaining of being ruined
by the cost of things in Washington At last
some one ventured to say that their trusted
major domo, g right hand man for years,
was neglecting or cheating. The practical
investigation of domestic affairs proved that
this steward had been swindling in the most
high handed manner, and robbing his employ
er on an unheard OF scale. His peculations
amounted TO thousands, but he was of and
out of the way before it was proven The
Young mistress of the house then took charge,

Home Life in the Country.

Too many Of our farmers homes are merely
so in namel They are not homes-only
places to stay. Do not think we are insinua-
ting that you must rush right of and spend
$1,000 in buying new furniture, carpets and
an organ. Not at all. One of the "homey-
est" places we ever saw was one that was en-
tirely innocent of any extravaganza in that
line Three hundred dollars would have
covered the cost of all the furniture in the
house; but it was place we always enjoyed
visiting. The head of the family was always
jolly and ready to take hand in the game,
and his nine children, always hearty and full
of fun, did not care to be out in the evenings
The girls did sewing and knitting as they
grew old enough, and the boys were often
found making something;" but no evening
passed that some one did not have something
to read to the others-an anecdote or story
something either to amuse Or instruct.
But the main secret Of their happiness, if it
was secret, lay in the fact that worrying
and fretting were banished. One growler or
fretter will spoil whole family. Fathers,
mothers, don't allow fault finding spirit to
spoil the pleasure of your family circle Don't
indulge in it yourselves. Have as cozy and
comfortable home as you can afford, but
don't mourn over what you have not. Rather
rejoice in what you have and be thankful

it is very great feat, and the man who ac-

Eire in the Water.

The sinking Of the big gas well near the
French camp turnpike calls to mind the fact
that the ertesian well in Court House square
contains gas, although in small quantities:
and this, by a natural and just gradation,
leads to an incident which happened before
the Water Works company went to mixing
the artesian with other water. When the
artesian was piped pure the gas went with it;
tho people didn't want the gas, but they got
it, anyhow.

Mans Work and Woman's Toll.

Gail Hamilton has serious word to say of
her sex that all should read: "Their spiritual
superiority is signifed chiefly in this, that the
women work for love, the men for money"
Thus she sums the matter up: "The spiritual
advance made by man is seen chiefly in this,
that SO much of the money he earns goes to the
ministry of refinement, education, embellish-
ment, to the wife and children whom he loves.
But the woman sees no money for her toll.
Her sufficient, her ample reward is in hus-
band, content, happiness, growing in grace.
in children, bounding to gracious maturity.
The unmarried woman works for necessity,
for love of her dependent ones, for love Of
some beautiful or beneicent profession, for
sweet mercy and charity to the ignorant, for
horror of dependence upon taose upon whom
she has 10 claim-seldom for business, ambi-
ton or material accumulation.
"The woman who makes a real failure, q
failure in her own business, is the unloved
woman, the grasping, the selfish, the repres-
sive, the unsympathizing, the censorious, the
untruthful, the woman who is center Of dis.

deemed the champion diamond of the world.

ened with the composition used for the pur-
pose, stands the half polished diamond, one

Society in Mexico.

The habits of good society here are quite
the same, with little more dash of aban-
don, as any where in the world. The ladies
wear imported Paris hats entirely. The
sevillana, or modern small mantilla-a most
delightfully."- graceful headdress which ought
to be the fashion in the states in the sum-
mer, SO universally becoming is it to all
women-is not at all displaced by the French
hat. The sevillana is entirely permissible
in the forenoon hours, and no lady wears
bonnet to church. The church costume is
a black silk or woolen dress and sevillana,
and if you want to see some beautiful Span
ish types among the ladies go to the cathe-
dral or to the Santa Brigida or Profesa
churches of q morning-where, among the
hundreds of kneeling worshipers, you will
see faces that an American painter would
give much to transfer to canvas The
Mexican ladies go to church daily in the
morning hours, for her worship is not re-
stricted to one day in the week, and the
Mexican church is not a combination of
lecture rooms, reception halls and church
kitchen. 1t is place in which to worship
God, AMI not to make display of toilets

pedoes, however, are far more terrible things

SIMPLE specimen. They are made in some
cases twenty-five and even thirty feet in
length, and filled with so much powder gun
cotton, dynamite and nitro-glycerine, not to
mention various combustibles of the same
agreeable nature. When it is necessary they

Tagging at Eton.

Tagging IS not easy work at Eton. Fags
not only have to wait on their fagmasters
at almost all hours to bring them water and
to look out for their rooms, but they even
have to cook for them. All the boys of a
house take their dinner together, but except
ing in two or three houses, where new rule
has been made, every one has his breakfast
and tea in his own room. And for these
meals the poor fags are cooks and walters
There is even a kitchen provided for their
special use, where they boil water, brew tea
and toast bread. Many heartaches have
there been in those little kitchens Fancy a
youngster just out of the home nursery, you
might say, being set to making toast when
he knows as little about it as he does about
Latin verses! And yet, take him to task
with all the indignation of disappointed
hunger and then send him OF to do his
work over again. But he grows hardened
by degrees to this work just as he does to
verse making, and in time can joke and
laugh as he cooks. And, il while he talks he
forgets his toast and lets it burn, wha. mat

| He Complains of Observation-Disclosures

II am subject to one form Of persecution in
| this country" said On Englisman to me the
other day, (which I find quite intolerable,
though can't in the least blame my persecu-
tors. You know speak quite like an Eng
lishman, naturally, and conduct myself quite
like one, as matter of course. Really, mas
much as I've been on this side only a month,
you see, and am going home in another
month. it would hardly be worth my while TO
attempt to master the accent and manners Of
the couskry, don't you know.
"Now, I'm not in the least unwilling to be
taken for an Englishman; that lam proud OF,
in fact. But I'm not taken for an English
man, and there's the disagreeable feature Of
the thing I'm constantly taken, don't you
see, for an Anglomaniac Yankee, a beastly
cad whose native country isn't good enough
for him, and who caricatures us in wild at
tempt to initiate us. To be taken for ar
Irish dynamiter or Russian Nihilist would
be comparative compliment
"The other day called on friend in the
city to whom had letter, and as he wasn't
in fell into little parley with the young
men in the outer office about his return and
the like. Then sat down in the inner Office
to wait a bit for him. Presently l heard,
over the half partition, one of the young men
say softly to his companion, with an imita-
tion OF my accent:
"sBah Jove! not bad, don't you knowl Is
it natural or acouiredP
"'Painfully acquiahed, deah boy-painfully
acquiahed,' said the other in the same tone.
"'Cahn't be done in a day, deah boy he
went on. There's Beverley Galley, don't
you know, who comes in here sometimes to
boah the governor; took him one and twenty
months-yaas, three and twenty mo1ths-to
acquiah his accent. This hasn't been carried
to the supehb perfection that Cadley's has;
not at all, my boy; but he'll mahster it in
yeah or two, don't you know, with perse-
verance.'
"AIl this with an indescribable clipping of
consonants and vowels made with the teeth
really very CLEAR, you know. Then heard
maddening chuckle from the two. This is
very much the sort Of treatment that get
everywhere. Sometimes men look as if they
were really going to kick me, until they learn
that I'm really an Englishman, and then
they're the best and most cordial fellows in
the world. Really, it's very natural to treat
me so, but it's deucedly unpleasant to be
made odious in strange land by sst at cads,
don't you know."-Boston Post
